This image gives you a production-ready deployment within minutes of first boot — no dependency wrangling, no manual hardening checklist. Published and maintained by Derek Coleman & Associates Inc: freshly rebuilt against current security advisories and deployable straight from the Azure Marketplace into your own subscription.

Hardened Linux base with automatic security updates enabled

Quick start

Deploy from the Azure Marketplace (Get It Now → Create), choosing your SSH key at the Administration step.
Allow inbound SSH (22) for yourself plus the application port(s): 80 and 443 (HTTP/S) — restrict to your own IP where possible. The in-image firewall already allows them; only the Network Security Group (NSG) keeps them closed.
Browse to http://<VM-IP>/ — NGINX answers immediately; put your site in /var/www/html/ and reload with `sudo systemctl reload nginx`.
Add your TLS certificate to a 443 server block (certbot --nginx works out of the box) and remove /var/www/html/info.php.

Common use cases

High-traffic PHP applications
Laravel and Symfony hosting
Reverse proxy + PHP in one VM
Replacing Apache mod_php for performance

Why our images

Freshly rebuilt against the latest security advisories, no shared default credentials, Trusted Launch support, and automatic OS security updates — everything runs in your own Azure subscription under your governance.
